26-year-old, newly graduated Occupational Therapist Megan Grace died of her injuries this afternoon after her and Rikki Grace were struck by an out-of-control Ford truck last night.
According to police, 29-year-old Robert Mitchell Lueck of Satellite Beach in a Ford Pickup truck was traveling northbound on Front Street. The Megan and Rikki were walking on the sidewalk along the east side of the roadway. The driver lost control and left the roadway, crossing onto the sidewalk, and hitting them both.
When police arrived, they found them both suffering from life-threatening injuries.
Witnesses reported that Lueck appeared to be under the influence, and that when turning onto Front Street from Melbourne Ave, he accelerated quickly and the truck fish-tailed causes him to lose control and jump the sidewalk.
